life. Job had at least some blissfui
memories, but this heir Of pain and desolation
had no such retrospective solaoc. Tho pesei-
mism Of Leopard has nothing fortuitous or
even deliberate about II; II seems ingrained,
incorporate, the inevitable outcome OF avision,
cleared from all the mists OF human
Ignorance and straining to pierce the realm
OF the undiscovered. but blocked. beaten
back. and blinded By the narrowing conviction
that OF all earth's creatures an anBmic and
palsied body is most firmly riveted to earth.
What contrast to tho cool, impersonal, specu-
iativo pessimism OF Schopenhauer, which. from
the lips OF Its hale lusty. glass-enjoying and
song relishing propounder, must sometimes
have sounded like o Rabelaisian jesti What
We might have anticipated from Schopenhauer
was the lax and eelf-indulgent doctrine OF the
later and degenerate followers Of Eplcurus.
But what could We expect but pessi-
mism from q tireless brain condemned by
sheer collapse Of subsidiary organs to
months Of maddening inaction: from
man like Leopard, whose pain-racked
body from sickly childhood TO untimely death
was hopelessly inadequate TO lite cerebral at
tachment. One cannot read Of him without
recalling the lines OF Dryden. somewhat stale,
perhaps. but which lose much Of their stale
was at the time contemplated by the author OF
the words:
Ansry soul that, working out It's way.
Frettsd the pismy body TO decay
And osrinformed the tenement Of clay
Even on the dead and long-buried lips OF
Leopard we seem in fancy to descry grimace
of irony, as II be could look back and recog-
nize that Europes posthumous attention. OF
which In his lifetime he had no foregeam was
itself only vicarious tribute to the vogue OF
Bchopenhauer.
Within province which. so far as English
reading people are concerned. Mr.. Howells has
made peculiarly his own. the becoming pos
ture for an honest seeker after information
seems one Of grateful acauiesoence. Yet per-
haps some readers OF the short essay on Aliieri
may with Difference regret that the author did
not pause to define the difference between AL
ferris borrowed conception OF Greek tragedy
and Greek tragedy itself. We oil know some-
thing Of the notion which Racine. who was no
better a Grecian than Mr.. Pope formed OF the
Attic drama. and one is curious to learn how
Alferi. who in the heyday Of his playwriting
activity got all he knew OF the Athenian stage
at second hand from the author OF "Androm-
ACHE" could have improved upon his teacher
in the matter Of conformity, not only to con-
structive formulas but to the Hellenic plane Of
feeling and modes Of thought. III. W. Il.

From Reporter 10 Editor.

No man, however, is thoroughly equip
ped and thoroughly qualified to fill the
position of mcnaging editor with just
ness aud fairness to- readers, as well as 10
workers, who has not done reporters
work, and done it for years, in all its de-
vious departments. / believe, too, that no
experience is so well calculated to fit a
man to do work upon the editorial pa. e
as that which the reporter does, though 1t
is a notorious fact that the great body
of editorial writers are ignorant Of the
exp, rience which falls to the lot of the
reporter. The editors life, his absence
of opportunities for contact with men
or rather for contact with all classes of
men-many times result in his mistaking
the proper position for his paper to as
,ume. The life OF the reporter is calcu.
lated to make m,pre. eminently man of
people and to give him an Insight into
men and measures such as is found in
no other department of newspaper work,
Such success as is attained by tie aver
age editorial writer in nine cases eut of
ten comes from such vision as he may
enjoy through the window of intelligence
which the reporter may provide, and
some men have wonderful faculty
of seeing well through the reporters
eyes.

and said: "

and it always will be money; you
can pass it through the Ere aud it
will not burn; you can bury it in
the ground and it will not rot. The
